EASTER EGGS form an important fac
tor in making the Easter holidays q
season of happiness and joy. Few
however are aware of the deep mean
ing which lies in the time honored
custom representing Easter eggs. In
looking at the etymology of the word
Easter" we find that it has its ORR
gin in the Anglo-Saxon word Eastre,
fromO Ostara, a goddess of light or spring
in whose honor the people of the an
cient World celebrated the equinoctial
season, BY giving colored eggs to their
friends to remind them that like the
egg contains the germ of life so nature
is being awakened to new life in the
spring of the year. Later on, the first
christian workers endeavored to har-
monize the old heathen usage with
the christian religion by connecting
another and more important lesson
with the former celebration. The Eas-
ter festival was subsequently observed
by the church in commemoration of
Christ's resurrection and the Easter
eggs continued to figure as part of the
programme, but were used as an IL
lustration of the thought that as slum-
bering life in the egg only needs help
to be awakened, so has the world
through the death and resusrrection Of
our Saviour gained everlasting life.
This is the deeper meaning of the cas-
ter egg, and it vii! be profitable less
on for parents to give to their children
along with the eggs on Easter morn
ing.

Fast Mail Service.

WA5HIEGT0N, March 4.-The Post
master-General has made arrangements
for fast mail service between the asst
and southwest. Heretofore, the fast
mail leaving New York at 7.S0 has ar
rived at st. Loais by the passenger
train the second morning, in time only
TO reach Kansas City the second even
ing. By the new arrangement, a
special train of postal cars on the Penn
sylvania line will reach st. Louis at 2. 10
am. and mail be transferred at once 70
special train of postal cars on the
Missouri Pacific, which will leave St.
Louis st and arrive at Kansas City at
Z in the morning. 1t is expected the
outgoing morning train from Kansas
City to Colorado, Mexico, New Mex
leo, Arizona, Southern California
southern Kansas Arkansas, Indian Ter
ritory, Texas and southwest generally.
and up the Missouri to Omaha, will
delay departure, and take the mail
on the arrival of the fast train at Kan
sas City. The value of the change will
be more apparent from noticing the
saving of time effected in the delivery
of eastern mail at some of the promi-
nent points. At Sedalia. Mo-, and
generally in southwestern Missouri, the
gain is about eight hours, and att Kan
sas City is eight and half hours. Prac-
tically, at these points, the gain is full
business day, the mail arriving in the
morning instead of the evening. The
gain is also in effect a day at ST.
Joseph, Atchison, Lesvenworth, Law
renee, Topeka and other towns in
eastern and southeastern Kansas.
The arrangement also enables trans
continental mail for Mexico and
Southern California to secure earlier
connections, so that substantially a
full days gain Of twenty-four hours is
secured at Denver, Cheyenne. Laramie,
Ogden, Ell Paso, City of Mexico, San,
Francisco, Southern California, and
offices On these lines. The new pro-
vision will begin with the train leaving
New York on Saturday night, the 12th
of March, and the service will be a.
daily one. In view OF this expedition,
to the southwest, and the increased
desirability Of tAis service to business
at New York, the departure of the mail
train has been delayed half an hour at
New York, from 7.30 until 8 oclock, in
the evening". so as to take up all the
matter mailed in the boxes as late as
$50.

OGDEN AND SYRACUSE.
a New Line of Railroad to be
Shortly Commenced.

Great Salt Lake, will be remembered by
Lakeside, )" on the eastern shore of the
old timers as one of the first places used
as a bathing and pleasure resort, and
from present appearances it now bids
fair to regain something of its old. time
popularity-as it will be fitted up by
the Union Pacific as a watering place
for the citizens of Ogden and others
north who occasionally take dip in
the brine. ] There was filed with Audi
tor Clayton yesterday copies of the
articles of association of the ogden
and Syracuse Railroad Company"-a
corporation formed under the laws of
Massachusetts for the purpose of build
ing railroad from Ogden to Lakeside
or rather as it will be hereafter known
Syracuse. The road will be some if
teen miles in length. The capital stock

the new resort will have any effect
upon the contemplated Improvements
at Garfield, or on the southern shore
of the lake, the design being to prove
a rival to Lake Park, and at the same
time the road will be used for the pur-
pose, of carrying, salt, etc., from the

that it will be rushed through as soon

Deputy Sheriff Speed saw Lieutenant
Guittez, with four armed soldiers, cross
ing the bridge over a small dry
creek into the United States.
Hea Immediately called on Henry
Littepage and DR.. Purdy to go with
him and see why the armed parry

irving in front of the American custom
house, the Lieutenant OF the Mexican
troops stopped in. front of Littlepage,
and covering him with a revolver, de-
manded the release of Mexican named
Rinconi whom they supposed the
American authorities were holding as q
prisoner. Littlepage replied: II have
no prisoner, "audimmedIately snatched
the six shooter out of the Lieutenant's
hands. Placing him under arrest the
American officers started for the main
street of the town. The Lieutenant
called on some other Mexican soldiers
concealed in the dry bed of the creek to
release him. They Immediately ran to
the American officers and one of
soldiers, covering Littlepage with his

covered. This soldier also fired at
Littlepage, but Littlepage knocked the
Gun aside, and at the same time draw
ing his revolver, fired at the Mexican.
Firing then became general between the
officers and the Mexican soldiers, the
Mexicans retreating across the inter-
national line into Mexico, the Mexican
officers following and shooting until
their weapons were empty. By this
time the American population was
aroused, and every man who could pro-
cure weapons armed himself, expecting
momentary attack from the Mexican
soldiers, who had been ordered out by
Colonel ArviZa, their commander, and
stationed on the railroad platform in
front of the Mexican custom house.
News was brought that one of the
Mexican soldiers was mortally wounded.
1t is stated that the cause of the armed
men being sent on to the United States
was for the purpose of compelling

Reached an untterstan ding on Fate.

Reached an Understan ding on Rates.
New York. March 4. : Passenger
agents and railroad managers, who have
this week been discussing the provisions
of the inter state commerce bill, have
arrived at an understanding and have
prepared a report embodying their
views. The purpose was to construe the
act uniformly, and-this has been done.
The report was to-day accepted by the
joint committee and adopted. This
practically finishes the work of the
passenger departments. Some points
in the report will be referred
to counsel before going to the
printer. There will be practically
no change in the emjgrant rates. Re-
garding the mileage rates there will be
no discrimination, except as tOministers.
Theatrical companies and shows of all
kinds will be obliged. to pay full rates.
Excursion rates will remain about the
same, except as to long, journeys.
The most Important change will be as
to second-class rates, which will be
made uniform throughout. This will
result in a marked increase of the pres
ent rates over the same routes.
